[libvirt-users] Trying to re-compile libvirt package on Ubuntu Lucid

[Lars Nordin]

I'm trying to rebuild Ubuntu's libvirt packages to turn on ESX support.

I've downloaded the Ubuntu source package for Lucid (updated Lucid package)
dget -u http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libvirt/libvirt_0.7.5-5ubuntu27.11.dsc

I try and re-compile 
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--with-esx" fakeroot debian/rules binary


and I get this error:

...
testing with corrupted config: log_level
Skipping test (due to Ubuntu buildd FTBFS): running libvirtd with a valid config file (2 seconds)

Anyone gone through this exercise before and would know how to get the packages re-built?
